I root against Rory McIlroy simply because he pronounces his name wrong. He is fun to watch but I cannot get past this, it's a pet peeve of mine. McIlroy should be pronounced "Mic Ill Roy", not "Mac El Roy".

Mic, not Mac.

I am pretty sure the pronunciation has to do with what letter follows the "c." Nothing more, nothing less. Micilroy just sounds odd, macilroy sounds right. Compare it to McIntyre. That is also pronounced with a "mac" and would sound funny with a "mic" ... I don't think it's a coincidence.

Anyway ...

I like to watch:

Rory McIlroy (not because he's a good golfer, just because I like how he pronounces his name)

Nick Watney (hometown guy)

Graeme McDowell

There really isn't anybody I dislike. I pretty much always root for everybody except the leader because I'm always hoping for drama.

I don't follow the tour players much at all but from what I've seen pop up in the news... Mickelson seems like a little bit of a spaz but in a friendly funny way. Garcia and Bubba Watson sound like pretty big tools.

John Daly- Was given a gift and seems to take it for granted. He just gets under my skin. Seems to disrespect the game to me.

Miguel Angel Jimenez- I can't justify why I don't like him, and really I don't think that I truly don't like him, I just root against him. Really have no solid reasoning for this one. He just rubs me wrong.
